BrooklynBull Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) The Ivy League is cancelling all fall sports during the fall. No sports will be played until 1-1-21 at the earliest. The Ivy League was the first domino that ended all conference championships and put an end to March Madness. https://twitter.com/JonRothstein/status/1280955217677344770 Stanford dropping 11 sports after the 2020-2021 year. https://news.stanford.edu/2020/07/08/athletics/ My guess is this is is the tip of the iceberg. The Big XII is having multiple shut downs because of positive COVID19 testing. This is a mandatory quarantine in New York for people coming from Kansas, which puts the season opener for football in peril. My prediction is that the Ivy league will lead the way again and that there will be no fall sports in the entire NCAA for all divisions. It will get to the point where the risk of multiple law suits from students who develop COVID19 from teammates will be too expensive for schools to afford. Even if schools were to accept the claims for this (and all other injuries) under their states Workers' Compensation Laws, it would still be too expensive to try to hold fall sports.

We could definitely see some spring football and basketball soon, hoping they have the plans for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TML1000 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Collapse of the college game in all sports but football coming...sad. Most sports will just move even more to the clubs at the youth level. Would like to see some sort of innovation and contingency planning before just straight cancellation....that goes for all areas of life in this situation, not just sports.

promotherobot Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 We are seeing the result of the failure to address a major health crisis in a coordinated, rational fashion. Even now we are chasing our tails. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rma Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I have a flight to MCI for the KSU game. I'm not expecting that I'm going to need that ticket. Let's hope basketball still happens, and that D1 sports doesn't financially collapse by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
